Both anons were me, sorry.

@VF: The Church doesn't change the rules of salvation. The Church uses faith and reason to conclude how those rules work though, according to both the Bible and the traditions passed down from the apostles. Jesus gave Peter [the first Pope, who passed this authority to another, who passed it on to another, etc.] the right to do so. If Peter were wrong in this thought then Jesus would have corrected him before setting him out to do His work.
